Prophet Mohammed would be utterly dissapointed and sad to know his message was misused by apes. He even predicted their coming and called them the Khawrij which I quote 'would have long hair like us , look like us but indeed be of pure evil. They will spead false learning and I ask my followers to not follow them even if death will come to you' he also said "they will carry names of places rather of clans and kin" (al baghdadi / al shishani etc etc). I think the beloved prophet today would have a neat beard, walk around in a nice suite, smell good, look good and brighten people up with his humour and social spirit.

I am a Christian. Most people think of Islam as death and destruction. I have met and work with many Muslims. They are silent in condemning the cause of Isis. This encourages the perception of Islam being evil. I wish you would encourage other Muslims to join your cause and educate Muslims not to be silent. I also encourage people in your organization to support Trump. Most in government do not know how to deal with radical terrorists. This is proven by past record. Trump is reaching out to Muslims right now 2 join him to develop policy that works. I wish you success.
